My Journey Journal To $100 a Day by Jan 3rd

by SergioMedeiros
9 replies
The reason I chose January 3rd was because that is my birthday.
I have been on this forum for awhile now, and what would be a better way than to use the tips I get from these innovative minds that fuel this forum.

Also, I haven't really been that active and I thought this would be a great way to become active. I will provide a daily log of what I am doing.

This will not only help you guys out for motivation but also help me. I am setting up my adwords campaign and will up date you guys as soon as I get more information. Wish me luck! And of course I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you!

    Interesting how many newbies choose adwords as their way to start.

    It can be profitable but I think for most newbies it just loses them money.

    I wish you good luck but you should check out the WSO section for a method that shows you how to get really cheap clicks and is proven to work. I have seen a few in there and some looked good so I suggest you just take a look yourself.

    If you have already done that or have some other methods to try, just watch the money you spend closely. You do not want to spend all of it with nothing to show for it.

      Thank you for the tip, I will definitely start reading into it. I have 5 campaigns on a few other networks, but I am not at $100 a day on any of them, I am at about $30..

      I never tried adwords so I am going to give it a shot! But I am definitely going to read up in the WSO section. Thanks!

    Im surprised no do gooders have came in this thread slamming good feelings with no real advice yet.

    So here's the real....

    If you want to make $100 a day, you are going to have to spend at least $100 to make it, maybe you can make it happen at $50 a day in the right niche with the right payout. You probably need to spend another 100-300 in testing different niches to see what works best for you. No one can really tell you whats going to work without handing you their campaigns and traffic sources verbatim, which of course won't happen. This is a ready fire aim type of game, start shooting campaigns out, optimize, and scale.

    dont agree with that^ i wouldnt throw any money in on adwords yet if i were in ur position, i mean there are other ways (free) that can be just as effective as ppc if not more if you be creative but thats just me

    Yes if you havent a lot of experience, then PPC is tough to start. As Csh37 said even if you do find winning campaigns, you will need to spend a lot to make a lot.

    If you are only looking to do $100 then just focus on something a little less risky. Yes you wont be able to do 1k a day very quickly with other methods, but you will have less downside as well.

    hope you have a good plan

    good luck

    Sergio,
    I admire your resolve. I have absolutely no experience with Adwords, but I do know that Dennis Becker (of 5 Bucks a Day fame, see my signature) got started using Adwords and the Campaign Blast method. If you are interested in that, the link to Campaign Blast is here: Adwords Training | Affiliate Marketing Guide & Membership (Not an affiliate link.)

    If you are interested in how Dennis Becker used it, check out my signature. You can download a free "teaser" version of the book to see if you want to read the whole thing.

    Good luck to you, and I will be looking forward to hearing about your success.

    Funny thing about getting to 100$ a day. Is when you get there you want 200$, 300$, 1000$.

    It's a lot easier to scale ppc then it is most free traffic types in my opinion other then spam or blackhat seo. Both much less stable then PPC, Media buys.

    So I commend your path. 100$ a day shouldn't be to hard at all. with a little work and asking the right questions to the right people could probably get there even faster.

    Hey dude, I normally do not suggest any WSO, but check out this one here.

    Now, this is just an example. I am not saying go and do this WSO, but at least on the surface, it does look like a great PPC system to me. So, it may be worth checking out. Just to add I did not buy this WSO and am not planning on doing it anytime soon. I may in the future, though. But I have seen several like this before that show you how to get the free clicks. If you go with the search network only, I think it's easy to get burned.

    edit:

    Oops, looks like that WSO I linked to is sold out, now. Guy made a pretty nice profit on it, as well. That's where the money is, WSOs! Ha ha. Anyway, that was just meant to be an example, really. It was a bit spendy. There are a few others on CPA using PPC that I saw before, that were much cheaper and were about getting cheap clicks. Sorry, I really don't remember the names of any of those.
